Audit Commission develops Knowledge Programme with Verity K2E
EPSOM, UK - 2002-10-21 - The Audit Commission, an independent body responsible for ensuring that public money is used economically, efficiently and effectively, will launch its new intranet using Verity's advanced search and content organisation software, Verity(r) K2 Enterprise 4.5 (K2E). The intranet, part of a wider Knowledge Programme, will enable the Audit Commission's 2,500 employees to make the best use of its vast information resources.
Unlike other specialised regulatory organisations, the Audit Commission carries out audits, inspections and research projects across a wide range of the UK's public services. Before Verity, the Audit Commission was using a basic search engine, which was not capable of managing such a diverse and complex range of documents to the Commission's full requirements.
"We hold a unique collection of information here and we recognised that we could use it better to help our staff, clients and the public," says Mike Ibbitson, Knowledge Management programme manager, Audit Commission. "The aim of the Knowledge Programme is to develop a system that will enable us to harness and maximise the use of our combined knowledge. Having a top quality search and classification solution is absolutely key to this."
Verity K2 Enterprise will be used on the Audit Commission intranet to search and organise hundreds of thousands of documents from across the public sector, including health, local government, police and crime. Rather than being simply a back catalogue function, Verity is also working with the Audit Commission to develop an extranet facility and collaboration tools to make it easier for people to share information. It is also intended that Verity power the search on the internet site.
"During our procurement phase, Verity proved itself to be capable of meeting demanding requirements in terms of search set-up, depth of query language, spidering processes, classification, flexibility and installation routine," continues Ibbitson. "Verity has also proved that it can adapt to the specific needs of the Audit Commission, giving us the functionality we need today and the option to include additional functionality in the future."
Simon Atkinson, Managing Director of Verity GB adds: "Verity takes disparate sources of complex information then organises and classifies it so that users can find what they want quickly and share knowledge easily. There is a tremendous wealth of knowledge within the Audit Commission and Verity is helping to unlock some of that knowledge and in turn helping the employees within the organisation to use it more effectively."
About Verity K2 Enterprise
Verity K2E fully integrates the three tiers of knowledge management infrastructure. According to Forrester Research, these are search, taxonomy and personalisation. Verity is able to combine these crucial capabilities because of the three-tier architecture of its K2 technology platform, used by more than 1,500 companies worldwide. The K2 platform lets K2E users discover, organise and connect with their enterprises' greatest information assets - an array of documents and the experts behind them, who know and understand those businesses. It also offers one of the most sophisticated, yet easy to manage administrative infrastructures to better cope with enterprise complexity.
